what am i getting out of telling you?

[sharktrash]

[ Ah, there it is. He was wondering when House would try to bargain for information. ]

What did you get out of showing me the picture?
Don't tell me that was gratitude for not squishing your head like a grape
That's reasonable but it ain't like you

[rubikscomplex]

i'm getting a viable target on someone else's back
that was the teaser to get you hungry
you want more than that
you gotta pay

[sharktrash]

[ that...........sounds kinda reasonable ]

what do you want

[ he's feeling agreeable, okay. he really does want this information ]

[ for uh ]

[ reasons ]

action

[rubikscomplex]

[What does he want? That's the real question. House confers with Will briefly for ideas before responding.]

one no-questions-asked, drop-everything favor
may be cashed in for fetch quests or murder

[sharktrash]

sounds good

[ isn't it a LITTLE worrying how quick that response comes ]

but: you will only get it if your information proves correct

[ you might have him mostly fooled for the moment but also he knows to take precautions, bub. especially after how spectacularly you loopholed that no internet for five days bet ]

[rubikscomplex]

a caveat to your caveat:
you take more than a week to get to him
that's not my problem if the info's no good at that point
and you still owe me that favor
deal?

[sharktrash]

i'll answer that once i've crosschecked your info

do you actually have anything more solid than "zone three" because he announced as much himself

[ he's also getting responses from the other people he attempted contacting so it might be wise not to run headfirst into a deal if he can get the same shit for free, right ]




(( ooc: WELP apparently there was more information publicly available than i thought :x let's say he's trying to save himself some work with this... i kinda don't want to retcon this bc it's hilarious ))

[rubikscomplex]

yep
deal first
then you get your info

[sharktrash]

[ there's radio silence for maybe about an hour. then; ]


so

any particular reason you lied

[rubikscomplex]

[Welp. Whoever gave the guy up is a moron, but what else is new here?]

you kicked me to hell and back again and you actually expect me to help you find somebody?
nice job on the legwork
but you're kinda a moron for coming to me in the first place, dude

[sharktrash]

[ make sure to tell Eve that. ]

hey you got off easy we all know this

you're saying you don't have a price
or is that only for your bestest buds?

[ and there was obvious evidence they knew each other, but you just had to be such a nice, loyal guy, House. ]

[rubikscomplex]

everyone has a price
you want me
you're gonna have to figure it out on your own, hi ho silver

[sharktrash]

considering you could've asked for anything
i'd say what needs the rework is the delivery

[ you need offers you can't refuse, is that it :/ ]

[ he'll keep that in mind for the future. ]

[ also: did you just call him a ho ]

[rubikscomplex]

mommy told me i should always make the boys work for it
makes me more interesting

[This wasn't actually about Junpei. It was about protecting Quark. Who likes Junpei. So.

He totally called you a ho, bro.]

[sharktrash]

some do like the thrill of the hunt
others prefer the term "frigid bitch"

at least you're not dull, i'll give you that


[ Well, good job team, he doesn't know about that at least. Quark is safe? Probably? Unless he makes a big scene later? ]

[ b r o that is so rude ]

[rubikscomplex]

we're all frigid bitches here

[Have you checked the weather forecast?]

have fun doing whatever you're gonna do, bro

[sharktrash]

heh good one

[ unfortunately he totally agrees. he's even turned Harley down :( not that she was... serious... probably ]

yeah talk to you later
you know like next time i want someone to lie to me
